If you are like me and don't want to put down poison to get rid of snails, then this is a very good way to remove snails and slugs.
Take some cabbage leaves and place them on your lawn in the evening.
Next morning go out and turn the leaves over and you will see snails and slugs that have congregated there during the night.
Simply pick up the leaves and dispose of them.
Do this for a few days and you will eventually rid your garden of these little plant munchers and save those newly planted bedding plants.
